 Posted: Wed Jan 17, 2007 5:24 pm Post subject: how to wire basic resistive Isspro fuel gauges |
 |
|
I find myself in need of the wiring schematic for the Isspro fuel
gauges that Van's sells - I think they're #8690, and am unable to find
it at the company website or with Google. I need to know how the
senders wire to the gauges and where the 12V and GND connections are
made.
Confession time: I have these gauges in my plane now, but have lost
the old wiring diagram I drew at the time (which would have been an
embarassment if it still existed, like the rat's nest behind my
present panel). I need the info to design relevant parts of the
diagram for the new electrical system.
Thanks,
-Bill B.

Finally something other than this waste of bandwidth....sorry did I say that
out loud....I have them somewhere, I will try to find them this weekend,
scan them and send you a copy in an email....

Several others have already done so; I have a great sufficiency of
schematics now. Thank you.

Need some electrical help here gang....................remember, I am the
world's worst at understanding electric "stuff".........don't ask me,
electrical just flat out doesn't click between my ears, possibly a blown
fuse from my college days.
Anyway, I have not attached any of the various instrument HI/LOW (two wires
each)light intensity. I don't want to go with a control knob but was
thinking a ON/OFF/ON for down is low intensity middle standard and up as
high intensity. OK, simple question............how in the heck do I make
the magic work?????
Gotta get this last stuff done this weekend, forward deck/windscreen has got
to be completed this time next week.

Dana- I used to have such a setup in my panel; it got removed later to
cannibalize the switch for an antenna switching application and
because I never flew at night and never used the feature. The trick
was to use a 3-position switch to insert zero, a few, or a bunch of
diodes in series with the light circuits, the # needed for each
intensity level being determined by eyeball testing on the bench.
Each diode (I think I used 1N4002's) gives about 0.6 volt drop and the
drops add linearly with higher numbers of diodes in a string. They
must all face the same way, with the striped end toward the negative
or ground end of the circuit. One peculiarity I recall was that I
ended up with the order being MED/LOW/HIGH, and I think I used a DP3T
switch, which is a kind of oddball.
Doubtless others will have ideas to toss in here. As I said, my
original schematic for the RV electrical system has been lost.
